The Sony PSP Go’s price is too high, according to Wedbush Morgan’s infamous crystal ball gazer/analyst Michael Pachter. Pachter says the US price of $249 “is too much, period.” Particularly as Pachter believes that the PSP Go will cost less for Sony to produce than the PSP-3000, priced $80 cheaper.

The Sony SR35 is a class act from top to budget camcorder tail. Leaving High-Definition capture to the Hollywood wannabes, this is aimed squarely at the family market who want an affordable, pick-up-and-shoot camcorder. And to that end, it’s gold.
Hi-Def isn’t just about boosting resolution you know. Sony’s HDR-FX1000E camcorder also uses an optically pure wideangle 20x zoom lens, CinemaTone Gamma and CinemaTone Colour, and Optical SteadyShot stabilisation to deliver those eye-bledingly sharp colours that make other cams look like they’re shooting through early 1900′s, smog-ridden London.
Sony’s HDR-CX105 had everyone oohing and ahhing over it when we first saw it, and rightly so – it was one of the smallest full-HD camcorders on its launch. Now it’s been overtaken (or should that be undertaken) by the likes of the Sony HDR-TG3, but its bright 2.7-inch touchscreen, 10x optical zoom, SteadyShot image stabilization and 1080i video still impress.
Unlike an Alfa Romeo, the Sony A200 is one Alpha that won’t leave you cursing from the side of the M25 at rush hour. If you’re in the market for a budget digital SLR, then this is probably the place to start.
The iPhone 3G S is to be Oleophobic – which we were surprised to learn does not mean “scared of cookies”. No, what this means is that the new batch of iPhones won’t be quite as prone to picking up fingerprints.
Were you to pop a standard-sized Samsung laptop into the machine from Honey I shrunk The Kids, you’d end up with the Samsung NC10.
From the now-established camera house of Panasonic comes the Lumix DMC-G1 – a micro four-thirds camera that’s aimed at both ardent amateurs and budget-conscious professionals who still want interchangeable lenses.
